I finally got "sup" up and working, but discovered to my horror that the next
night's sup run fetched the entire universe again :-(
What's the most obvious reason why? I have the following sup setup:
("\"'s added for clarity)

I run "sup" from "cron" via "/usr/local/sbin/sup -s". Since it created all
of the above /usr/sup/current files upon first invocation, I would have thought
that from then on, it would know where to get the when.* files and thus know
to only sup the latest stuff since the when date. What am I missing?
Thanks,
